Not sure the Syd Barrett analogy holds up under close scrutiny- Syd wrote all the bands early material (with one or two exceptions), was the lead vocalist and the lead guitarist. Brian founded the Stones and recruited the players but didn't dominate to that extent. As soon as Mick and Keith flexed their songwriting skills- aided and abetted by Andrew Oldham- Brian Jones was pushed into

Lots of unfulfilled potential and apparently difficult to deal with. Keith named him as one of his favorite English rockers. At his early 1970's peak, one the the best in the business.

1971. No Mick Bolton, no UFO!

I'd say this qualifies as a tribute act- no original members for years and now they've replaced the replacement lead singer. Who pays good money for this kind of thing?

In the never ending search for something different to listen to, I finally tried out some of the music from the guitarist from The Church. He's good!

Hyde Park, Northeastern USA Canada. A good idea to catch this British rock legend while you can! Perfect gig for a balmy late summer/early fall evening.

McCartney asked the band to write a song that "sounded like Simon and Garfunkel" for the Magic Christian soundtrack. They wrote and recorded this with Paul producing and strings arranged by George Martin. Miming it here.

Pete Ham's farewell to Apple when Badfinger signed with Warner Brothers...

At 70. Founding member of The Damned and main songwriter of their early stuff like "New Rose" and "Nest Neat Neat". Brian was at the forefront of "punk rock" in the UK. Brian James, founding guitarist of the Damned, dies aged 70 (The Guardian)

A Molland track from "Ass", Badfinger's last Apple release.

Ouch. That hurts. At a latter day Badfinger show at the Wax Museum in DC some time in the early 90's, Joey came over to the table where I was sitting with the late Stone-relics (John Rutherford) and chatted. A nice guy and very talented.
